Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning2015 Land Use Inventory: This file is a digital geospatial Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS version 10.x File Geodatabase Polygon Feature Class representing land use in the seven northeastern Illinois counties (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will). Land use is identified to nearly 60 categories, and was created using county parcel GIS boundaries and Assessor data, along with color orthorectificed aerial photography captured in the spring of 2015. Land uses were assigned to parcels using a combination of automated and manual techniques, using a variety of reference data sets for land use identification and validation. This dataset is considered an update of the 2013 parcel-based Land Use Inventory, and the primary focus was on parcels whose assessment records or geometry had changed between 2013 - 2015, suggesting a change in land use. Parcels were then dissolved on common land uses (to the limits of PLS sections or assessor blocks); polygons were generated for "non-parcel" (water, right-of-way) areas and classified using automated processes, and extensive topological cleaning was necessary to minimize gap/overlap issues. NOTE: Land use polygons are based on county parcel boundaries; special care must be exercised when comparing these data to earlier (2005, 2001, 1990) Inventories, which relied on manual drafting of land use boundaries that would extend to road centerlines.
